    I'd like to see him against Cano or Cayo.

    And I don't think he looked shocking. That's a harsh assessment. At the very worst he looked his normal self. But I saw slight improvements (whilst still showing a few mistakes).

    :lol: No ****. What, you think after one training camp with a new trainer, all of his flaws -- which have been ingrained in him throughout his entire career -- are going to be eliminated? Not denying they exist, but honestly, Khan's errors get magnified more than any other fighter I know. He could do a hundred new things which are good, but they'll be ignored and those 10 things which are bad will always be mentioned and scrutinized. Which, I guess, is understandable seeing as though he is a vulnerable fighter.

    Hunter hits the nail on the head at the beginning of this vid:

    That's not the point. It's the sudden change in weight which will be the problem.

    i never said i thought all his flaws should vanish but whats the point of a new trainer, a high profile one at that, if they are not going to improve you? I have seen people saying they saw improvements in Khan and honestly i didn't see any. Same old Khan.

    If i had to call it, i have him getting iced again real soon. I hope my boy Matthysee gets to do it.

    Khan Lopez next if they can agree at 144.

    Knew this would happen :D

    Great fight

    "Reason I dnt want to fill into a 147lbs fighter is because I wnt the Garcia fight @ 140 Once I move up I wont be able to come bk down strong"

    Khan Lopez @ 144
    Khan ??? @ 140

    He was having to bulk to make his 154 ring wieght decent enough...

    144 shouldn't be a problem.. his body will have naturally already lost alot of that gained weight..

    Lopez should be looking to come back down to 140.. He has two options now - ANOTHER payday with Khan @ 144 or a fight @ 147...

    Lopez was the one saying Khan should fight someone his own weight after Molina...

    Don't see what the problem is.

    So Khan knows if he goes up to 147lbs he won't be the same at 140lbs (a difference of 7lbs) yet is asking Lopez to come down from 154lbs to 143lbs??? (A difference of 11lbs)

    I don't know maybe someone can explain it to me ask Khan himself doesn't appear to be doing a good job.

    :lol: You're acting like Khan has no intentions of wanting to improve.

    Again, it's just one fight. Whatever improvements you're asking for are not likely to happen overnight. And honestly, I suggest people to maybe watch the fight again if they really think he made no improvements at all and looked exactly the same. The doubling, and even tripling, of the jab was there (something that's been missing since the Kotelnik fight). He paced himself a lot better (instead jumping around like a kangaroo). ****, he even showed hints of inside fighting. Now, all of that was against a limited opponent, yes, but it's proof of him making an effort to improve. We'll only ever see the extent of these improvements when he's back in with a live body (like Lopez, Cayo, Cano, etc).

    Whoa, a very bold prediction, that. A weak chinned fighter getting knocked out again :lol:
